"What I like is that Ness and
Capone aren't at all two dimensional in this book, that a mysterious woman turns
out to be dangerous and fascinating, and that the novel roars to an exciting
climax."--Tony Isabella

This story involving Al
Capone, Eliot Ness, and Cthulu is a winner. It is extraordniarily
entertaining...The author, E. J. Priz, has done his homework, and the way he
weaves facts with fiction is seamless, and a joy to a "Nessophile" like me.

...Priz does with style what I would have considered
impossible -- merging the legend of Eliot Ness with the Cthulhu mythos."

--Karen
P. Rhodes

"A good, solid twist on vampires, with a touch of
humor."

"A
very clever crossover between Eliot Ness, Al Capone, and the world of H.P.
Lovercraft. I didn't know what to expect, but the author pulled it off rather
well. I grew up watching Robert Stack as Eliot Ness on The Untouchables and
later discovered H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulu mythos, and it frankly never
would have occurred to me that there was any way to combine the two. I was
wrong...

...Highly recommended for the cognoscenti as well as the casual reader
who may have an interest in any of these characters, real and imagined."

memories. It calls to me, like a beacon. Like a sob in the night."--Lamia

"But I don't think I can be putting this down in my
reports to Washington. Not if I want to keep my job."--Eliot Ness

"...a wonderful page turner of a novel...uniquely creative
and innovative..."

"This is the cherry on the top for the lovers and
fans of one of the most exciting periods of American
history."

In 1930, Eliot Ness and Al Capone are at war in
the streets of Chicago, when a new element enters and threatens both their
ambitions. An old friend from the University of Chicago approaches
the Untouchables leader with a tale of a dead man walking, even as a beautiful
redheaded woman makes Al Capone an offer he can't refuse.

And as Ness and Capone wage their final battles in the
streets and alleys of Chicago, an older and darker evil stalks them both.
In the end, Ness and Capone must reluctantly join forces against the threat of
the dead that do not lie easy in their graves and the ancient evil from the
pages of the Necronomicon.

A Cosa
Nosferatu Scrapbook

Here are some photos of the people, places, and
objects central to the events of Cosa Nosferatu.

Some are extremely
rare, such as the photo of the Tillinghast Resonator, and the photograph
of what might possibly be a Shoggoth, although this interpretation is
controversial.

We have also included the only known photograph
of Lamia Lucedio, taken in what may well be Club Lucedio., site of
horrific killings that were not widely reported at the time.

The building
was razed by the authorities shortly after the events described in
Cosa
Nosferatu. This photograph was provided by a private collector of
Capone memorabilia who does not wish to be identified.

According to margin notes in the archives of Randolph
Carter, (maintained at Miskatonic University, which extended considerable
assistance and courtesy to the author in his research) a photo reproduced below
may well be of the extremely rare Necronomicon.

More information is
available by clicking on the image. The photograph of Carter at the
bottom is courtesy of Miskatonic University also, taken some years after the
events of Cosa Nosferatu. Much of Carter's other research is still in
print, published under his well known pseudonym, H.P. Lovecraft.

The photograph of the Tillinghast Resonator is also
believed to be the only photo extant of this device. This photo is
reproduced courtesy of the Nikola Tesla Museum, as is the photograph of what we
now believe to be a Shoggoth, although Tesla himself did not label the picture
as such.

Tesla's notes only refer to "an interesting specimen, photographed by
means of an unconventional process."

The graveyard photograph was taken at the infamous
Bachelor's Grove. Interestingly, it was the discovery of this photograph,
along with a diary, in the effects of the author's late uncle, Dennis "Duke"
Nalon, that began the process of research that led to the publication of
Cosa Nosferatu. For legal purposes, it has been published as a work
of fiction, but it should perhaps be more properly viewed as being in a genre
similar to that of In Cold Blood--that is, as a fictionalized
recounting of actual events.

In Cosa Nosferatu, Eliot Ness and Al Capone learn that there are
evils older and darker than those of Prohibition-era Chicago. Randolph Carter,
an old friend from the University of Chicago, seeks out the Untouchables
leader when a dark secret from his past returns. At the same time, a femme
very fatale named Lamia Lucedio approaches Al Capone with an idea for a
new speakeasy in the infamous levee district of Chicago. And then worlds begin
to collide, and both lawman and gangster learn of the dead who do not lie easy
in their graves.

Along the way, Ness encounters a rambunctious writer named Lester Dent, a
reporter turned shadowy vigilante with the power to cloud men's minds, and
Nikola Tesla, recruited to help pierce the veil that hides the ancient evil
described in the pages of the Necronomicon.
